You do realize the damage on it was buffed. It was also increased to 2s because of haste clipping. Or do you find it fun to cast something for .6 seconds and still have to wait .4 seconds for the GCD to finish?

They increased the damage with the cast time. Provided you've Flame Shocked the target, LvB scales better than LB with the changes (will fetch numbers momentarily). The increased casting time also increases the benefit of the legendary Meta.

I don't know what you are doing but if you have the correct amount of haste you shouldn't get any clipping. Except some minor clipping if all your buffs are up including BL/Hero

Sorry, but there is no "correct amount of haste" to avoid clipping. Presuming you are under bloodlust and the meta procs, you only need 5400 haste rating for clipping to occur with Lightning Bolt. With other sources of haste -- a haste buff from elemental blast and/or windsong (1500 haste rating each), a trinket (i.e., Volatile Talisman's 8800 haste rating), or a boss mechanic, it's fairly easy to get clipping.
A 1.5 sec cast time under bloodlust and the meta proc is clipped, even if you somehow manage to find a full set of gear without any haste.
